Diets of Steers on a Shrub-Steppe Rangeland in South-Central Washington

A Population of Great Basin Pocket Mice, Perognathus parvus, in the Shrub-Steppe of South-Central Washington

A population of Great Basin pocket mice, Perognathus parvus, was live-trapped in 1967-72 on a 2.7-ha study area in south-central Washington to determine their density, reproductive performance, longevity, movements, and home range, as well as their functional role in northern shrub-steppe habitat.

Effects of Shrub Canopy on the Microclimate and Soil Properties of Steppe Rangeland

In arid and semi-arid ecosystems, shrubs may act as fertility islands but theireffect may vary depending on their morphology and ecological impacts. This research wasaimed to study effect of three shrubs Scariola orientalis, Astragalus heratensis, and Rosapersica on soil properties and on the microclimate conditions (temperature, luminance, andsoil moisture) of their understory in the steppe ra...
